Mitama Yakumo is the one of the original characters of the 2017 mobile game Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record. Her role in the game is essentially that of 'shopkeeper' as she manages the game's many currencies. Mitama was made playable in April 2018.

Summary

Mitama's powers center around strengthening other people, but she is not powerful enough to fight witches herself. Instead, she makes a living by enhancing the magic of the other magical girls in exchange for grief seeds.

Mitama has been shown in multiple side stories to be a horrible cook, and incompetent enough with knives to be a danger to those around her. She appears to be oblivious to this.

Doppel Description

The Doppel of memento mori. Its form is flower petals.
The master of this emotion attempts to bring ruin to everything, out of resentment for the environment in which she lives.
This Doppel does not forget death, which comes equally to all things in creation. It covers everything with fluttering petals, and gracefully comes to escort away girls with its white gloves. Both it and its master have no way to attack directly, but its power, which exists alongside the demise of all things, is fearsome nonetheless. All magical energy covered by its flowers will wither away, leaving nothing behind.
Should this Doppel’s master continually seek its power, her left arm may eventually fuse with it completely.

Etymology

The characters in her last name mean "eight" (八) and "cloud" (雲) respectively.

Mitama means "honored soul," it's basically translated "ancestor spirit". Yakumo, meanwhile, is a famous poem like Iroha's name is, said to be literally the first poem in Japanese ever written (by Susanoo himself, no less). Extremely roughly translated, it goes: "From eight rising clouds I build a wondrous eightfold fence in Izumo to contain my divine bride; oh wondrous eightfold fence."

Trivia

Her illustrator is "Punyan"

Mitama reveals her age during the "We passed the first of that day" event, where she says that she is only 17 years old after being told that she's like a mother to all magical girls in Kamihama.

[Memoria Reinforcement Material] Things that cannot be held, get crunched up a little bit. Without noticing things that you didn't see, things you decided not to see, do you even notice what you lost. Things that were supposed to be important, weather with time and wither. Leave behind your memories and move forward.

[Memoria Reinforcement Material] I can't get it back anymore. As time goes by, memories break down by the thousands leaving only outlines behind. Memories fall from their palm, like silent evening snowflakes, they fall down to the center of my heart.

No matter what I do, I can't fight... I could only live by relying on someone. I don't even know if my wish was fulfilled or not...I was going to decay...whispering in that ear is the words of salvation or the words of a curse..."Yakumo Mitama, you are also a magical girl who wished for the curse of many."
